7:34 |
So yesterday I woke up with a sore back, a surprise because all seemed fine Monday. Obviously, it tightened up overnight, so I bagged kayaking and yoga. I did have a consultation with a dentist in Jamestown, so I drove there at 9:00, sat in the chair, and we decided to be conservative and see if my discomfort goes away on its own. It's called putting off the inevitable and expense! I was able to walk around with minimal discomfort so I stopped at Wegman's and picked up a few more things for last night's dinner. When I walked in with the groceries, Evie was busy putting together our dinner, a Turkish/Greek/ moussaka recipe from the Moosewood Cookbook. Much of the prep was done on Monday but there is always lots to do. I was little if any help because I was soon ensconced on the couch with a heating pad on my back, watching the boob tube for a while. For lunch, Evie heated up the leftover rice and white bean stew so I was happy. I left her to her work around 1:00 and took a nap upstairs with a heating pad. And I started a new book after finishing David Silva's A DEATH IN VENICE. I picked up another Robert Crais thriller, THE SENTRY, always fun following Elvis Cole and Joe Pike.
Dinner was ready to be put in the oven, dessert was made as well as the appetizers, so Evie was able to enjoy some of the afternoon. And best of all, her back seemed better yesterday, inshallah. Our neighbor's, Marjorie and Ken arrived at 6:15 and we were able to sit outside on the porch for our wine and appetizers, shrimp cocktails and spiced cashews.
